You are correct. I googled a report from Gentoo that the header search errors were coming from makedepend, but since they were essentially built- in, it was not a problem. The real problem was the overlooked parens already reported. Later, in apps, xsm wouldn't build without rsh, which I have never built, so I took it out of the list. The X server doesn't want to load DRI now, maybe a build error, but that's less serious than my 7.5 errors.
